Dentists, as essential members of healthcare teams, possess skills and capabilities valuable for disaster risk management. However, little is known about the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of natural disaster risk management among dentists in Iran. This study was conducted to evaluate dentists' KAP of natural disaster risk management and to determine the correlation between these variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study involved 403 general and specialist dentists from Kerman city in southeastern Iran. We evaluated dentists' KAP of natural disaster risk management using a researcher\u2010designed questionnaire and convenience sampling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results showed that dentists had high knowledge (12.96\u2009\u00b1\u20091.54, 92.6%), desirable attitudes (46.42\u2009\u00b1\u20092.45, 99.3%), and desirable practices (17.63\u2009\u00b1\u20091.89, 94%). Higher knowledge was observed among dentists aged over 46 years, married participants, those working in private and public clinics, and those with more than 21 years of experience. Positive attitudes were more common among married dentists, those employed in both private and public clinics, and those with less than 10 years of work experience. Multivariate analysis further showed that age and working in both private and public clinics were significant predictors of higher knowledge, while employment in both settings was associated with a more positive attitude.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given the high levels of knowledge, positive attitudes, and effective practices among Iranian dentists in disaster risk management, they can play a pivotal role in emergency response. To utilize this capacity, it is essential to formally recognize and integrate the participation of dentists into the national disaster management system. This integration requires establishing standardized protocols and interdisciplinary training programs to better incorporate the dental profession into Iran's emergency response structure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.72923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T06:33:26Z","timestamp":1785393206000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Natural Disaster Management Among Dentists in Southeastern Iran: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0990-5386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Jahanimoghadam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants on Oral Health Research Center Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh Karami","family":"Nadik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiology Research Center, Institute of Neuropharmacology Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6984-3705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amir Mohammad","family":"Sabzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Dentistry Shiraz University of Medical Sciences Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1364-9912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Parya Jangipour","family":"Afshar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HIV\/STI Surveillance Research Center, and WHO Collaborating Center for HIV Surveillance, Institute for Futures Studies in Health Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8201-1286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hojjat","family":"Farahmandnia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health in Disasters and Emergencies Research Center, Institute for Futures Studies in Health Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijdrr.2024.104507"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)NH.1527-6996.0000118"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X14001460"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2019.18"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cden.2007.06.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_7_1","first-page":"23","article-title":"Role of Dentist in Disaster Management: An Indian Perspective","volume":"19","author":"Syed A.
